Communication

We use Slack for real-time communication. Contributors live all over the world, so there are discussions happening at all hours of the day.

Our core development meeting is every Wednesday at 20:00 UTC in the #core channel on Slack. Anyone can join and participate or listen in!

Trac Notifications

If you want to receive all Trac activity, subscribe to the wp-trac mailing list, aka the “firehose.” This is anywhere from a few dozen to a few hundred notifications a day — yes, that is a lot. (If you do this, you may still want to opt into components below, as you’ll then end up listed on the respective component pages.)

Here, you can subscribe to more fine-grained notifications for tickets — by milestone, component, or focus.

How it works:

You’ll receive all comments to tickets matching your preferences. If a ticket’s milestone or component changes to one you are not subscribed to, you will receive that final notification but no further updates, unless you have specifically starred and are watching that ticket (view list of your favorites).

If a sub-component is added and you are already subscribed to its parent component, you’ll automatically be subscribed to the new sub-component.
